💅 BATADV_SKB_CB(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this is the BATADV_SKB_CB page and honestly it's a short one but it's iconic in its own little way 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

BATADV_SKB_CB — the macro that gets you the batadv_skb_cb out of the skb control buffer. that's the whole job. she's focused. she's employed. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

BATADV_SKB_CB (__skb );

literally just one argument, no cap. give her the skb and she'll give you the goods ✨

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• __skb — the skb holding the control buffer. that's it. that's the whole input. she's not asking for much, just your skb 🫶

---

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so like, the members of the control buffer? they're defined in struct batadv_skb_cb over in types.h — that's where all the actual shape of the thing lives, go look there if you want the details, i'm just the messenger 🎀

and plot twist: this macro is inspired by the similar macro TCP_SKB_CB in tcp.h. like, it looked at that macro and said "i want that energy." and honestly? it ate. 🔥

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

it hands you back a pointer to the batadv_skb_cb of the skb. pointer. to the cb. of the skb. the way that it just... returns exactly what it says it returns 😭💖
